Thank you for your list of the effects of the government shutdown.
In my opinion, all of our elected officials, from President Obama to the most junior member of Congress, are responsible for this shutdown. If each of these elected officials had their paychecks withheld until the budget was settled, it would be a whole different scenario. When so many families have had to tighten their budgets and defer spending until they actually had the funds, why can't our government?
